Eastwick - Red Aunts and Windows, S01E07

While this week's episode was an improvement over last week's, it still isn't hitting any heights. I'm starting to accept the fact that the show is going to be cancelled and to not be too upset over it. Which is very disappointing considering how well it started.

Roxie (Rebecca Romijn) should have had a really emotional time, since Chad (Matt Dallas) was killed when her statue of Darryl fell on his head. He appeared to her in a dream, telling her to follow the signs, which led her to discover a CD with a song he had composed for her. All this was very touching, and Roxie's continual consultation with Darryl (Paul Gross) over the matter, which led her to conclude she only needed to rely on herself, and to finally empty out her husband's drawer, as well as Chad's. But when Chad's family banned her from the funeral, that pissed me off. And then, when the rain stopped, his grandfather essentially assaulted her, trying to drag her from the graveyard and when she resisted, she knocked him into an open grave...a miraculously dry open grave, I ought to mention. It was over the top.

Meanwhile, Joanna (Lindsay Price) was trying to figure out how to use her telekinetic powers again. For some reason, they stopped working this week, and I am very interested as to discover why. It was entertaining to see her running around with the cute new reporter who took her job at the paper, but you have to wonder what's going to become of her. She can't get her old job back - what is she going to do? I do hope that a love story develops here, I already like this guy far more than Will (Johann Urb). But the show might not last long enough for me to find out.

Finally, Kat (Jaime Ray Newman) had the most interesting and important story line. When her daughter fell, she healed the cut with the touch of her hand. Then, at the hospital, Eleanor Rougement (Cybill Shepherd) asked Kat to heal her arms as well. She told her that they were the same, that they both had powers. No longer able to deny what was going on, Kat went to Eleanor, bringing Bun (Veronica Cartwright) with her since she was Eleanor's emergency contact. Eleanor manages to cure Bun's amnesia by removing the red aunts from her body, and after Kat leaves, the two plot to kill Darryl again.

At least we are now back on a path of activity. Roxie and Jamie (whom we did not see this episode)'s plot line needs to pick up again, since Roxie has accepted her power. Joanna needs to get her groove back, and now that Kat is accepting, perhaps the three will come together and figure out this cone of power thing.

Are you disappointed or hopeful about Eastwick?
